Skipjack Oyster, Coming Fall 2025

This fall, we’re thrilled to welcome Skipjack Oyster—a new seafood-focused concept inspired by the charm and tradition of the Carolina coast. From daily oyster selections to crisp white wine pairings and comforting coastal bites, Skipjack will bring a fresh take on the raw bar experience right to the heart of downtown Austin. As we prepare for this new chapter, Stella San Jac will close on June 27 after a decade of serving Downtown Austin. To celebrate Stella’s legacy, guests are invited to enjoy our limited-time Farewell Feast menu, featuring fan-favorite dishes from the past 10 years, available May 1 through June 27.
Premium food + beverage options will remain available to all guests throughout this transition, including breakfast service on-site, in-room dining, and craft cocktails with skyline views at Azul Rooftop.
